It seems that NVIDIA is now jumping onboard the "Physics" off-loading bandwagon. They have developed special drivers and software that will enable SLI systems to become "SLI Physics" systems.
The idea is simple. Instead of having two GPU's responsible for displaying graphics, limit it back to one and use the other to off-load physics to it. So now it seems that Ageia may have another huge obstacle in it's way. NVIDIA claims they have more then 6 Million SLI systems sold and with a few software updates those users can convert to "SLI Physics".
It all sounds well and good to me, but it will be interesting to see which processors pack the best punch, Ageia's or NVIDIA's.
What does everyone think?
